Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
gridoon2018 Perhaps the strongest point of "Renegade" is its consistency: when you sit down to watch a random episode, chances are you will not get anything great, but you will not get anything bad, either. The series finds a comfortable "6 out of 10 stars" zone and mostly stays there. The premise stretches believability in several ways (Reno Raines does absolutely nothing to change his all-too-distinctive appearance after becoming a fugitive; Dutch Dixon knows that Reno usually hangs around Bobby Sixkiller's headquarters, but he doesn't even have his people watch the place; Reno initially doesn't want to get too involved with other women after his fiancé's murder, but after a little time he seems to meet "someone special" every three episodes or so; etc.), but the series is still written, directed and acted with enough professionalism to remain watchable. The action/fight scenes are usually brief, but of OK quality. Lorenzo Lamas acts better here than in any of his straight-to-video action films I've seen, and he has an amusing chemistry with Branscombe Richmond. Third-billed Kathleen Kinmont does not appear in every episode like the other two, but does occasionally get involved in the action. Series creator Stephen J. Cannell plays the No. 1 villain, Dutch Dixon, and he's entertainingly evil, though his ineffectiveness in capturing Reno and the way he loses him even when he does have him captured make him look like Wile E. Coyote at times! Several recognizable names keep popping up throughout the series, from Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa to Fred Williamson and from Tracy Scoggins to Kelly Hu, although my favorite male guest star is probably James Cromwell, and my favorite female guest star is probably Nancy Everhard, who appeared in three episodes in total, playing two different characters. So far, only the first 3 seasons of "Renegade" have been released on DVD; it would be nice to see seasons 4 and 5 as well, at least for completion purposes.
amecae The screen name of Billy Ray Sharkey was the registered SAG name of someone I knew in college. There are items in his filmography that I definitely know are not attributable to Ray Sharkey. Billy Ray Sharkey should now be about 60 or 61 years old, if he is still alive. He is an excellent character actor, and an endlessly interesting person. I was just doing a bit of research to see if he is still performing. The last credit for him was about 10 years ago, which is not reassuring. Now I'm wondering if he's still alive. At least your question is now answered.
blueviking Being a big fan of such of such classics as Knight Rider, The A-Team and Magnum, I would like anyone who has not ever seen this series to know that it is great! At the time of writing this, "Renegade" only appears to have one review and it is not a good one? Watch for yourself before believing any negative reviews of this series. This is the first ever Region 1 DVD that I've had to import to the UK as it's that good! Buy it now! Lorenzo Lamas is a brilliant actor and superb martial artist. The only problem this series ever had was lack of exposure which probably killed it off much the same way as "Tropical Heat". Think of it as a modern day Knight Rider but without the Sci-Fi of KITT and a hero who is one of the best fighters ever. Combine that with the constant threat of police capture (much like the A-Team) and you have "Renegade". Another absolutely classic series by Stephen J Cannell.
arvie88 'Renegade' belongs to the classic series, a original story that is well carried out by fine actors who really are fit to do so, Reno Raines/ aka Vince Black is a great character, always looking for justice with his own unique style...This series really represents something, it's a pity it's so hard to come by these days, it's certainly under-valued, it's actually a great series, but the most people doesn't realize that.Over here in The Netherlands 'Renegade' was on TV for only a short while, but it has appealed many people here...There is only one thing i don't like about this series, Reno's deep voice is getting one-sided after some time if you mix it with that overdone good and bad talk of him (example):'Yeah, but we must get the bastard, i can't allow that he gets away with this, we must stop him' (really deep voice)But that's the only thing i can think of, besides that, it's a real cool series, the way he escapes again and again and the way he figures things out and takes matters into his own hands, is great too watch. Renegade has good stories, but all of them fit into the overall story. the action is well worth watching, if there was a 'Renegade' Box that i could buy here i would buy it instantly. I give it a 8 out of 10 star rating for it and that is entirely justified, no matter what others say...
